Brook's Valentine

My blind love
can’t see my lover
this my Christ
you were trying
to tell me something
you didn’t want to have to.

That first cold mouthful
of happiness at being blood
reviving the brook
so it ran more burdened
more sure-footed.

What must have been there first
as memory to know
me false as leaf to you
as cloud to recognize
you true?
